5. Commissioning
Take the product out of the package and remove all the packaging material. Open
the battery compartment of the outdoor sensor and insert two 1.5V AAA batteries.
Then open the battery compartment on the back of the main unit and insert three
1.5V AAA batteries. Alternatively, you can use a 4.5V / 150mA DC coaxial power
adapter. Details about the polarity and the connector type when using a separate
power adapter is given in the table on page 2. For this purpose, plug the mains ad-
apter into a properly installed socket and then connect it to the coaxial connector
of the main unit.
Note: If you want to use the device with batteries, then the backlight is not
permanently switched on. The backlight is permanently switched on when
operating with a power adapter.
The weather station then attempts to connect with the outdoor sensor. Make sure
that both devices are within each other's range. The connection symbol "
hes in the "Outdoor temperature display" of the main unit. If the main unit cannot
establish a connection with the outdoor sensor within 2 minutes, then it stops
searching. The connection icon stops flashing and the temperature display shows
"-._°C" and "-._%" on the display.
If a connection cannot be established, then this could be, for example, due to thick
walls, or to a long distance of the sensor from the main unit. In this case, positi-
on the sensor and the main unit closer to each other. To restart scanning, press
and hold the "CHANNEL" button on the top of the main unit for 3 seconds until
the connection symbol in the display starts flashing. The weather station will now
automatically receive a DCF signal, regardless of whether the external sensor is
detected or not. The " " symbol starts flashing in the time display. This means that
the DCF signal has begun to receive the time.
6. DCF signal
The DCF signal is a time signal which is sent out by one of the most accurate clocks
in the world. It is located near Frankfurt am Main. Under ideal conditions, your
weather station can receive the signal from a distance of up to 1500 km.
If the weather station has detected the signal, then it displays the current Central Eu-
ropean Time, the date, and the day of the week depending on the basic settings. The
DCF symbol " " is then shown on the display.
